    I've gone with boomer for the basic reason that I get two chances at being right :D ...either planet-boomer or bsg-boomer will get whacked at some point in the show I reckon :p

    Thinking about it, boomer is easy money alright... but will boomer get Helo first...
    frack frack... where is a mod when you need one ;)

    Chief.

    Something will happen with Boomer, she'll be responsible for his death in some way, and he'll find out she's a Cylon. He'll die heartbroken.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 931 ✭✭✭c0y0te


    hmm.. I don't see an edit poll option. will keep checking...

    I'm going with the Chief. He's not a main main character - like Starbuck or Adama - that'd piss the fans off but he's big enough to cause a big ripple and a moment of shock. And in Boomer we've got the perfect means to have him killed off as he dies, either killed by her or defending her (the former would be better for dramatic effect). Bye bye Chief says I.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,958 ✭✭✭✭RuggieBear


    I went with Starbuck....more wishful thinking than anything else.....just something about her scenes irks me....either the bad acting or the all over the place characterisation.....not sure which! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 353 ✭✭Boberto


    I have to say the Chief too. I think the Boomer killing him plot is most likely... Hopefully i'll be wrong because so far i've found the scripts original and entertaining.
    I'm not sure about the President. Her health situation leaves the chance that she could go at anytime but she's an important character.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,758 ✭✭✭Peace


    Plus on the sky website where i got the list... he's not mentioned.

    I would say yeah, the chief alright... on thin ice. After all with him knowing about the explosives then he's a serious liability.

    I wonder who would replace him.....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,216 ✭✭✭✭monkeyfudge


    They also have alot of really good minor characters on the show. Killing one of them off would have almost the same effect as killing off one of the major characters.

    There is the president's aide (Billy is it?)
    That girl in C&C (Who wears her hair tied back far too tightly)
    The girl from the flight deck who bit off that guys ear.
    The really cool smoking doctor.
    Oh.. and Boxy...

    But I'll also go with Boomer on this poll. As they can't keep her hidden as a cylon for much longer. And they can also kill her off without sacking the actress.

    I edited the poll for ye. :) I reckon Helo will make it back to the fleet...somehow. No spoilers in here please!

    Its a bit of a stretch but could helo possibly get the coord's of the fleet of the Cyklons? Probably not... you'd have to believe that the cyklons know where the fleet is and are just toying with them instead of wiping them out.

    Other than that, i have no clue how helo could get back to the fleet... they are light years away by now.

    Well if he dies I think the whole Capricia / Helo story is pointless. It does look like the cylons are toying with the remaining human beings. I'm sure a cylon agent, especially boomer could have destroyed Galactica if the cylons had instructed her to do so; leaving the fleet unprotected.

    Maybe not pointless... we may learn exactly what the cylons wanted to learn therefore giving us an insight into what they wanted and insight into.

    But will they know that we know that they know that helo doesn't know?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 218 ✭✭Haruspex


    I feel it may be Galactica Boomer. Her death would resonate amongst the crew because despite it all she is likeable (and cute with her hair down) when running her human subroutines!

    The Chief may be too integral to the flight deck to be sacrificed at this stage. I'm just going on how Adama was reluctant to throw him in the brig in "Litmus" two weeks ago i.e. "I need my ships to fly". I can't think of any suitable replacement for him either. Free the Specialist One perhaps? ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,763 ✭✭✭Fenster


    The Chief gets my vote as well...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,992 ✭✭✭Johnny Storm


    Lets not forget my personal favourite - Colonel Tigh.

    He just might drink himself to death - though I hope not.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,556 ✭✭✭✭Sir Digby Chicken Caesar


    i think the chief is too valuable to be killed off.. galactica boomer might be a good pick though. Be a nice episode, everyone mourning over the death of a cylon :)

    and no one but the chief will suspect... (or so we think?)
    god damn I'd love to see that funeral :)


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 4,569 Mod ✭✭✭✭Ivan


    Boomer, tbh.

    Chief is pretty safe, as he is an integral part of the show.
    Also, it would be more interesting to have Boomer be killed and everyone else mourning her... except for the chief.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,084 ✭✭✭✭Stark


    Six has already been killed off twice I think :)

    Too good to kill off:

    Number Six
    Gaius Baltar

    I'd hope they'd never kill off a character that's too good to be killed off but after (Spoiler for those who haven't seen Farscape Peacekeeper wars):
    Farscape killed off D'argo
    anything can go.

    Won't get killed off because they're core characters:

    Adama
    Apollo
    Starbuck

    Unlikely because they're pretty decent, though not so good they're essential:

    The Chief
    Helo

    That leaves:

    Laura Roslin (El Presidento) (I've a feeling they took a bit of a risk regarding whether audiences would like her or not. Giving her cancer gives them a bit of an opt-out clause. If she's popular they'll find a cure, if not, bye bye).
    Boomer - Yes, she's excellent, but she's also a Cylon. The fact that she's a Cylon yet entrenched in the crew's hearts should make things very interesting when her secret is revealed.

    And then there's Tigh, I really don't like the guy, they can kill him off :)
    Well if he dies I think the whole Capricia / Helo story is pointless

    Actually I reckon it's a good possibility that they kill him then take him apart and build a 13th cylon out of him. He'd make a cool cylon :)

    Six was killed three time (nuke hits Baltar's house). I think it'll become an in-joke in the show that if Six asks "Are you alive?" she'll get killed immediately :p

    What about whats his Colonel face the second in Command of the BSG
    Spoiler (highlight):Doesnt his wife show up from no where :confused:

    Ditto. Though it was a toss-up between The Chief & Galactica-Boomer.

    I think most ppl can agree it's the storyline most likely to bring us sweet death for one of the crew :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,056 ✭✭✭Sooner or Later


    * tosses a coin to decide between Boomer and The Chief *

    I'll go for the Chief. Boomer knows that he knows about the explosives. Now that he is no longer involved with her he is less likely to cover for her. Even if her human half still has feelings for him her cylon half knows he is a risk.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,357 ✭✭✭secret_squirrel


    It will be one of the cylons either six or boomer - on the grounds that they can kill them off as much as the like and still bring them back.

    First human to go will be Helo - after he has got caprica-Boomer pregnant with the first cylon/human hybrid. Thats why the cylons are sex mad all the time. Plus Helo is the only human left on Caprica with un-irradiated balls and thus still fertile.


  • Moderators Posts: 5,580 ✭✭✭Azza


    i will reckon they all die at the same time ...... I know its a long shot but hey if I'm right your all gonna be in awe.

    Huh? Since when is she deffinetly pregnant i didnt see her popping to the chemist - or you cheating and reading on
    :p:p:p:p:p

    Also ya reckon six would of had a tummy with all the fornication she had with Gauiss,before any of this happened :p

    You mean like they did in Blake's 7? :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,357 ✭✭✭secret_squirrel


    I can see it now... adama mysteriously vanishes only to turn up again in the last ep...he starts to explain everything...the cylon plan...who God is....Starbuck I am your father...
    Then El Prez in a moment of inexplicable trigger happiness blows his stomach away in a fountain of blood and guts....and he dies his words unspoken...cue an army of Sixes to blow the whole crew away..over the background sound of her and Gaius having one last hump.....
